Hi all,

Might be a silly question but my mini mechanic seems to think my car is Tahiti blue non metallic but the paint code in the car states it is Jsa rover electric blue.

I have also touched up with Jsa and it is almost perfect but unsure whether it is ever so slightly off colour because of sun weathering ?

What was the standard colour for 96 sprites?

Thanks!

The 1995 brochure (the last one which still has the Sprite in it, before the launch of the MPI later in 96) shows Electric Blue (solid) available on Sprites. Tahiti Blue was pearlescent and is not shown as a Sprite colour.
